Giving to charity certainly doesn’t mean donating a hefty amount of money. Giving doesn’t&nbsp; necessarily require big bills or checks. All you need to have is a big heart and knowledge about&nbsp; different ways to give to a charity. Here are some effective ways of giving to a charity.&nbsp;Let’s divide giving to a charity into two categories:&nbsp;1) Monetary Contributions&nbsp;2) Other Ways of Giving<h1 style="margin-left:0.319000244140625pt;">The Meaning of monetary giving</h1>&nbsp;Giving that involves donating money to a charity or other organization through cash, checks,&nbsp; credit cards, payments, and marketable securities is known as monetary giving. You may&nbsp; contribute a part of your monthly salary or annual income, a part of your savings, or your family&nbsp; fortune to a charity.&nbsp;There are different ways in which you can give money to a charity. Here are five ways to give to a&nbsp; charity.&nbsp;<h1>5 ways to give money to a charity&nbsp;&nbsp;</h1><h2>DONATE USING YOUR FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS</h2>&nbsp;<figure class="image image_resized" style="width:77.24%;"><img src="/uploads/84_C960_E5_16_FC_423_B_B198_707_ABD_50_D655_22e7baa766.webp" alt="84C960E5-16FC-423B-B198-707ABD50D655.webp" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_84_C960_E5_16_FC_423_B_B198_707_ABD_50_D655_22e7baa766.webp 234w,/uploads/small_84_C960_E5_16_FC_423_B_B198_707_ABD_50_D655_22e7baa766.webp 500w,/uploads/medium_84_C960_E5_16_FC_423_B_B198_707_ABD_50_D655_22e7baa766.webp 750w,/uploads/large_84_C960_E5_16_FC_423_B_B198_707_ABD_50_D655_22e7baa766.webp 1000w," sizes="100vw"></figure>One of the most common ways of philanthropy is giving via your financial instruments. This may&nbsp; include your check books, credit cards, debit cards, or simply using a challan to transfer the&nbsp; amount via your bank account. This is believed to be one of the easiest and safest ways of&nbsp; donating, especially in the case of a substantial amount.<h2> DONATION OF TAX REFUNDS&nbsp; &nbsp;</h2>&nbsp;<figure class="image image_resized" style="width:83.64%;"><img src="/uploads/EF_4_B3_A1_D_6339_4_A62_B8_A3_CF_10_F59_B4994_9230131209.jpeg" alt="EF4B3A1D-6339-4A62-B8A3-CF10F59B4994.jpeg" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_EF_4_B3_A1_D_6339_4_A62_B8_A3_CF_10_F59_B4994_9230131209.jpeg 245w,/uploads/small_EF_4_B3_A1_D_6339_4_A62_B8_A3_CF_10_F59_B4994_9230131209.jpeg 500w,/uploads/medium_EF_4_B3_A1_D_6339_4_A62_B8_A3_CF_10_F59_B4994_9230131209.jpeg 750w,/uploads/large_EF_4_B3_A1_D_6339_4_A62_B8_A3_CF_10_F59_B4994_9230131209.jpeg 1000w," sizes="100vw"></figure>You can spend your tax refund on a charitable cause instead of making a purchase out of it. Even&nbsp; if you donate a part of your refund, the money can go a long way towards helping others. If you&nbsp; get a tax refund next year, consider donating a part or all of it. Some of your donations may even&nbsp; be tax deductible for the year after.<h2>DONOR ADVISED FUNDS</h2>&nbsp;<figure class="image image_resized" style="width:57.59%;"><img src="/uploads/A44_AF_912_969_C_4_B61_95_CE_07_BA_73_D0_B35_E_91f8195592.webp" alt="A44AF912-969C-4B61-95CE-07BA73D0B35E.webp" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_A44_AF_912_969_C_4_B61_95_CE_07_BA_73_D0_B35_E_91f8195592.webp 148w,/uploads/small_A44_AF_912_969_C_4_B61_95_CE_07_BA_73_D0_B35_E_91f8195592.webp 474w,/uploads/medium_A44_AF_912_969_C_4_B61_95_CE_07_BA_73_D0_B35_E_91f8195592.webp 711w,/uploads/large_A44_AF_912_969_C_4_B61_95_CE_07_BA_73_D0_B35_E_91f8195592.webp 948w," sizes="100vw"></figure>Donor advised funds are simple, affordable, and accessible alternatives to private foundations.&nbsp; These are basically charitable giving accounts provided by a sponsoring organization. All you&nbsp; need to do is put your money in, let the sponsoring organization manage it, and donate to the&nbsp; cause of your choice. Also known as DFAs, this is one of the most popular and fastest growing&nbsp; modes of giving money to charity.<h2 style="margin-left:0.7449989318847656pt;">PAYROLL CONTRIBUTION PLAN&nbsp;&nbsp;</h2> &nbsp;<figure class="image image_resized" style="width:80.33%;"><img src="/uploads/507_A9_EEC_05_E0_4_F8_A_A78_F_4_F23583541_F8_ec6a8a79bb.webp" alt="507A9EEC-05E0-4F8A-A78F-4F23583541F8.webp" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_507_A9_EEC_05_E0_4_F8_A_A78_F_4_F23583541_F8_ec6a8a79bb.webp 226w,/uploads/small_507_A9_EEC_05_E0_4_F8_A_A78_F_4_F23583541_F8_ec6a8a79bb.webp 500w,/uploads/medium_507_A9_EEC_05_E0_4_F8_A_A78_F_4_F23583541_F8_ec6a8a79bb.webp 750w,/uploads/large_507_A9_EEC_05_E0_4_F8_A_A78_F_4_F23583541_F8_ec6a8a79bb.webp 1000w," sizes="100vw"></figure>If your employer offers you a payroll giving scheme like CAF Give As You Earn, you can simply&nbsp; donate to the cause chosen by your employer with your pre-tax salary. This will provide you with&nbsp; full income tax relief. A part of your salary would be deducted and contributed to a cause by the&nbsp; organisation you work for.<h2>DONATE ONLINE</h2>&nbsp;<figure class="image image_resized" style="width:81%;"><img src="/uploads/FBA_1_A5_F0_3_A72_4_B7_F_96_B6_18006_E3_EB_962_5f0ad67b7c.webp" alt="FBA1A5F0-3A72-4B7F-96B6-18006E3EB962.webp" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_FBA_1_A5_F0_3_A72_4_B7_F_96_B6_18006_E3_EB_962_5f0ad67b7c.webp 245w," sizes="100vw"></figure> &nbsp;Online donations are also known as "crowdfunding."&nbsp;Online giving is the future of donations. It is one of the fastest growing methods of donating&nbsp; money. Online donations are mostly preferred by young donors. It’s most appropriate for modern&nbsp; digital lifestyles.

They act as the&nbsp; backbone of these organisations. Volunteering is one of the best ways to give your time to a&nbsp; charity and it is equally beneficial and valuable as monetary donations.&nbsp;Volunteering has changed with the new technologies available over the years. You do need to be&nbsp; physically present at an organisation to volunteer. You can simply join a virtual volunteering&nbsp; programme to contribute towards a charity.&nbsp;<h2 style="margin-left:0.05500030517578125pt;">DONATE BLOOD&nbsp;</h2>&nbsp;<figure class="image image_resized" style="width:85.89%;"><img src="/uploads/74_F99608_1_F13_462_C_9_EA_8_2595804_ABDE_7_830d9431cc.jpeg" alt="74F99608-1F13-462C-9EA8-2595804ABDE7.jpeg" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_74_F99608_1_F13_462_C_9_EA_8_2595804_ABDE_7_830d9431cc.jpeg 234w,/uploads/small_74_F99608_1_F13_462_C_9_EA_8_2595804_ABDE_7_830d9431cc.jpeg 500w,/uploads/medium_74_F99608_1_F13_462_C_9_EA_8_2595804_ABDE_7_830d9431cc.jpeg 750w,/uploads/large_74_F99608_1_F13_462_C_9_EA_8_2595804_ABDE_7_830d9431cc.jpeg 1000w," sizes="100vw"></figure>Blood is a necessity for thousands of people every day. Donating blood is a noble cause and&nbsp; doesn’t cost a penny. You can donate your blood at health care institutions and NGOs functioning&nbsp; for causes related to blood donation.<h2 style="margin-left:0.18700027465820312pt;">DONATE FOOD AND CLOTHING</h2>&nbsp;<figure class="image image_resized" style="width:76.12%;"><img src="/uploads/6_E96_B38_C_CF_4_D_427_F_919_F_D1_D87849_BA_12_917e07017c.jpeg" alt="6E96B38C-CF4D-427F-919F-D1D87849BA12.jpeg" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_6_E96_B38_C_CF_4_D_427_F_919_F_D1_D87849_BA_12_917e07017c.jpeg 234w,/uploads/small_6_E96_B38_C_CF_4_D_427_F_919_F_D1_D87849_BA_12_917e07017c.jpeg 500w,/uploads/medium_6_E96_B38_C_CF_4_D_427_F_919_F_D1_D87849_BA_12_917e07017c.jpeg 750w,/uploads/large_6_E96_B38_C_CF_4_D_427_F_919_F_D1_D87849_BA_12_917e07017c.jpeg 1000w," sizes="100vw"></figure> Food and clothing are the two most important aspects of a good life. Basic necessities like these&nbsp; can be donated as there are millions of needy families out there who are deprived of these&nbsp; necessities. You can also donate other things such as carpets, furniture, cars, books, etc. Many&nbsp; charities aim to provide such necessities to the needy, and you can help them.&nbsp;&nbsp;<h2 style="margin-left:0.18500137329101562pt;">TAKE PART IN A GIVING CIRCLE&nbsp;</h2>&nbsp;<figure class="image image_resized" style="width:83.64%;"><img src="/uploads/0_A7_A999_F_AB_7_D_4_E6_C_872_D_F3_B8_EFF_85_DA_4_7916efc964.jpeg" alt="0A7A999F-AB7D-4E6C-872D-F3B8EFF85DA4.jpeg" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_0_A7_A999_F_AB_7_D_4_E6_C_872_D_F3_B8_EFF_85_DA_4_7916efc964.jpeg 245w,/uploads/small_0_A7_A999_F_AB_7_D_4_E6_C_872_D_F3_B8_EFF_85_DA_4_7916efc964.jpeg 500w,/uploads/medium_0_A7_A999_F_AB_7_D_4_E6_C_872_D_F3_B8_EFF_85_DA_4_7916efc964.jpeg 750w,/uploads/large_0_A7_A999_F_AB_7_D_4_E6_C_872_D_F3_B8_EFF_85_DA_4_7916efc964.jpeg 1000w," sizes="100vw"></figure>A giving circle makes donations fun. Giving circles can be small, informal groups like a&nbsp; neighborhood potluck, where a few people pool their money and give it to a chosen charity.&nbsp; These circles can also be highly organised, with thousands of dollars being donated. Whether&nbsp; informal or organised, giving circles enable donors to pool their donations to achieve a greater&nbsp; impact.<h2>EMPLOYER MATCHING GIFTS.</h2>&nbsp;Some employers provide matching gifts, which means they will match some or all of your&nbsp; donations. Simply put, your employer doubles your donations by providing gifts matching your&nbsp; donations. This is a good scheme used by many organisations to encourage donations.&nbsp;It’s not necessary to give monetary donations to a charity. You can contribute in any possible way,&nbsp; but giving is important. Give what you can and help others live a better life.&nbsp; Log into to Karma Points website today and start the good deed. &nbsp;&nbsp;
